Description

Crumbs is a game reenacting the intense battles that probably occur every day right outside your doorstep. A sweet, innocent little granny has decided to spend the day enjoying the warm and welcoming sun by tossing some bread crumbs to the local fauna. She remains blissfully unaware, however, of the vicious wars occurring over her precious bread crumbs.

Players take on the role of either the ducks, pigeons, squirrels, or chipmunks. Each group of animals provides its own special abilities while players scuffle over the spaces in the park. Players try to gain the best position before the big crumb drop in which 20 crumbs are dropped onto the board, spreading out at random and turning the tides of power for better, or for worse.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
  • The idea that you don't have to put ingredients in a specific order.
  • Allows using several ingredients at the same time to fulfill sandwiches.
  • It's a very neat little solo game that is also enjoyable to play.
  • The game is quick once you understand how it works.
Cons
  • Limited ingredients (only two cards per ingredient, and one card for some specific ingredients) reduces the puzzle factor.
  • Players need to finish sandwiches faster with limited ingredients.
  • Not a lot of difficult decisions to make, making it straightforward.
  • Restock action is very valuable, and players should try never to fulfill two sandwiches at the same time to maximize its benefit.
Thematic elements
  • sandwich filler

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

  • Push Your Luck — Players aim to use as many actions as possible before fulfilling an order to maximize the benefit of the free restock action.
  • Set Collection — Players collect ingredients to fulfill sandwich orders.
